stir about the old railroad shops. New
workmen were on the ground, and the first
blow was struck in the construction of
the big machine, repair and car shops.
The stone cutters began work on the hand
some white granite that is to be used in
ornamenting the pillars and brick work,
and several masons we're busy preparing
for the foundation. Five car loads OF lime
came in that morning, and every day
material is arriving from both the East
and West. The superintendent informs the
Times that the work will be pushed as fast
as possible, not from any particular hurry,
but because it will cost no more to en-
ploy as many men as can work as to allow
the construction to drag. In "a few weeks
the shops will loom in fine style and add
much to the business and attractiveness

He Leaves German Soil ON tho Double

PARIS, April 3O.-Schnoebel, who wa. re.
leased from prison yesterday by order OF
Germany. and who at once departed from
Metz, where he was incarcerated, arrived
at midnight at Pagny Sur Mozelle, where he
was arrested.
| His wife and son met him at the station,
where were also assembled the whole poru-
lace of the town, headed by all tho officers
of the municipality. Schnoebel was ovated
by the crowd, who cried out "Vive La
France" "Vive Schnoebel!" After a short
| stop Schnoebel proceeded to Paris. He de-
clined to be interviewed by members of the
press. He declared he had been well treated
by the Germans.
PRESS OPINIONS.
Paris newspapers appear to be nearly all
we'll pleased by the manner in which the
Schnoebel affair has been settled, and pro-
nounce it an honorable settlement. They
praise the prudence and fairness displayed
by Flourens, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
in his conduct OF frances side of the case.
The majority OF the papers draw from the
incident the lesson that in future France
must redouble her vigience in order to
avoid surprises of the kind caused by the
arrest of Schnoebel.
According to the Republique, France is
to prevent people in their respective dis
tricts from using the occasion of Schnoe-
bells liberation for making anti German
demonstrations.
HE ARRIVES IN PARIS.
Schnoebel reached Paris this afternoon.
He at once called upon Premier Goblet and
had an interview With him, in which he re-
affirmed the story OF his arrest as origin
ally told. It is again asserted that Schnoe-
bel will be relieved of his post OF Commis-
sary at Pagny Sur Mozelle, and he will be
retired on pension.
